Gees Louise! They give people a free email account and take no real responsibility for it?
And people are surprised by this?

Jim, this link does not function. I seem to go there, but I get a spinning time out in the url slot, and thus a blank page. Or have I blocked the use of the link somehow? jr

Chris Collins suggests the person hacked had no right to be distraught because she (almost) lost all her mail. I think the piece makes clear that she (or at least her husband, tech writer for the Atlantic, knew that), but the piece is primarily about the ecology of email hacking: why people do it, why people don't protect themselves against it adequately, why the hosts (gmail, in this case) are incented more to DELETE your mail than they are to save it, etc.
Again, what surprised me the most reading this article was the motivation for people to do it - to scratch out a living of a couple hundred dollars a day in cash, not to steal someone's identity.

Jim,
I wasn't saying she didn't have the right to be distraught.
She can be as distraught as she likes, but in the end, it won't achieve anything.
As with anything in this digital world, if it's important, make a backup! Even more so if someone is giving you something for "free".
Don't expect someone else to do it for you, is what I'm saying.

Well, being distraught AND having her husband on a first-name basis with one Eric Schmidt did seem to be good for something, but the reason she managed to get her IMAP mail database reconstructed is one of the interesting parts of the story…
And why jr can't see the story on the Atlantic Monthly's website is a mystery to me. The links work for me in Windows and Mac, using different browsers.

Reset and emptied Safari caches, restarted, reinstalled a few extensions, and magically the website popped up.
I just did this last week. Safari doesn't usually have corrupt cache, at least in awhile. Thanks for the reminders. John R

Re: Toast Titanium 11 and encoding

Howdy.
I've gone from Toast 10 to Toast 11 in recent months and burn fairly
often.
I don't think Toast 11 improves speed a lot.
Toast 11 also isn't 64-bit and runs, therefore, as a 32-bit app in
Lion.
What saves time is not having to recompress a RIPped movie.
I buy Sony printable single layer DVD-R discs at about $0.29 cents each
USD (local retail at Costco warehouse) and then order online Verbatim
DVD-R DL printable discs.
Using the Double Layer DVD-R discs saves the time of having to
recompress.

Also, you probably already know, checked, or didn't want two cards, but
I think OWC has some Lion compatible ExpressCard USB3 devices. Just
saw a reference to that but haven't checked personally. Other World

Ah, yes.
USB3 speed....
I no longer have a device in the ExpressCard slot on my MacBookPro5,1 but when I did, I looked at the report on it in System Profiler.
I was somewhat surprised to learn that the ExpressCard slot is on the USB bus.
In other words, the ExpressCard slot's maximum speed (at least in my machine) is that of USB2.
You might want to check your own.

OT: Need Hotmail "un-blacklist" help
Posted by: "Rob Frankel" rob@robfrankel.com robfrankeldotcom
Sun Jan 8, 2012 3:48 pm (PST)
Greetings:
Although this may be off topic, I'm at my wit's end and turning to
you tech specialist for help:
One of my clients has mistakenly had their domain placed on
Hotmail/Live.com's blacklist. Their customers orders (it's 100%
digital delivery) are being rejected as spam because the domain from
which they're sent is the blacklisted domain.
And no, the client has never spammed or sent unsolicited e-mails.
Can anyone direct me to a professional/experienced person who can
help me with getting the domain removed?
Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Cranky new iMac
Posted by: "Richard Stein" richardstein@ymail.com richardstein@ymail.com
Sun Jan 8, 2012 5:47 pm (PST)
Hi,Â
Just before Christmas I bought a new 21" iMac. I don't like or understand what is happening. First something seemed strange when I went to create a personal keychain, maybe a week ago. My login keychain held 4 or 5 strange items that were nothing like those in the keychain of my 2007 Mac mini. Here is a rough description of the "strange" items I saw.
My first unrecognized item is a Certificate reading
com.apple.ubiquity.peer-uuid. 68AAC5D4- B12D-4546- B355-EF4EB670674 8
Self-signed root certificate
Expires: Monday, 7 January 2013 6:33:13 PM Central Standard Time
X This root certificate is not trusted
Issuer NameÂ
Common Name com.apple.ubiquity.peer-uuid. 68AAC5D4- B12D-4546- B355-EF4EB670674 8
Country      US
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
Then a Keys icon under the "Attributes" window I see
Name: com.apple.ubiquity.peer-uuid. 68AAC5D4- B12D-4546- B355-EF4EB670674 8
Kind: public key, RSA, 2048 bit
Usage: Any
Effective Date: --
Expiration Date: --
Comments:Â "blank window here"
under the "Access Control" I see "Allow all applications to access this item
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
Then another Keys icon with the same information as above
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
Then another Certificate that inside reads "The data does not appear to be a valid certificate"
X This root certificate is not trustedâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"
So, I deleted these items from my login keychain. Everything seemed to go fine without these items. Then I installed Microsoft Office today, and shut down -- no problems. When I restarted the iMac several hours later. It was very-very slow to boot. Then I could not enter my login password -- frozen! So, I restarted. Again my iMac took a long time to boot - clearly slower than my Mini. But I did get in. Something made me go to my keychain. Lo and behold, there were those crazy items back in my login keychain. What is going on? How can I fix the slow boot & the recurring keychain garbage?

When I first moved to 10.7, I had an issue with my keychain not holding a Google password, then, for some strange reason, Keychain first aid reported duplicates of such that it could not fix.
I had always used Migration Assistant to move from one new iMac to another, one account to another.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do an erase and install, and then hand install apps, for the first time in several os versions and iMacs. Wow, a new machine! Twice as fast as ever on the software side and no more keychain or other funky software glitches.
Have you tried a clean install, and a re-install of apps instead of migrating? Makes a WORLD of difference.

Looks like this is related to iCloud. The solution is to trust the certificates.

I had never heard of this, so I utilized Google.
In mere seconds I found

You aren't asking for a simple address book, or a PIM. You are
asking for a business management app. There is a list here:

That will be perfect... until you receive a message that is sent only to
your email address, but retains the [macsupport] bit.
So you will mistake it for a group message, rather than see it as a
private message.

This works fine most of the time, but some members' posts still wind up in my inbox. On looking closer, I find that the posts are addressed to "undisclosed recipients" (who I assume were BCCed), with the group in the Reply-To field. I thought I'd tweak the rule to deal with this, but apparently Mail doesn't allow me to filter for Reply-To at all.com

Thanks Brent for writing in.
I like answers. I like apple products. They are comparatively much simpler to use than other products.
I have used windows for the major portion of my life. When i took to apple in 2008, i still continued using a DELL laptop at work while i was working with Aon Hewitt. Although, people around me liked apple products too, the IT people in the organisation were under directives to keep apple away. So we used enterprise services of microsoft, along with blackberries etc., and everything was so inefficient. The version of microsoft office was also dating back to 2001 i believe, and we used excel extensively for our consulting work.
But then, companies have tie ups for technology. they also want to cater to clients. Same reason why today we are working on solutions but limited by the flexibility that internet explorer offers. Even though the percentage of people using internet explorer is dipping day on day, developers cannot neglect them.

Arjun

This is Apple's explanation:
<http://support.apple.com/ >kb/HT4878
To turn this behavior OFF, paste this in Terminal and reboot.
sudo tmutil disablelocal
This is what I have done.
